On home page, nice link to wiki that includes all projects. -- but there is NO link to any 735 project? Good use of CC license! Nice explanation of the About this site -- but I still like to see an opening artifacts page. Do you need an explanation of the menu/navigation? Defend this. On menu, should the Artifacts drop-down items be a different color or set off in some other way from other menu items? but should their also be an opening page on the artifacts ? in Reflection, may want to avoid use of ALL CAPS (for emphasis). Reserve all caps for acronyms. Contact page - want personal phone no. included? Nice layout of artifacts; indicators clearly described and set of nicely. Includes useful links to components of the projects. Love your EDET 780 artifact! Because many of your projects included "learners," you might mention (briefly) their responses (e.g., the challenges with your internship audience), both positive and negative. Like how you embedded a number of projects instead of just a link.. in Utilization artifact #2 -- could the artifact be centered as there is no margin do you address how you used the ADDIE Model at all or any ISD model. [Susan and Cheryl: Where should we ask candidates to address 'How" they responded to challenges from their learners (i.e., the effectiveness of their projects with the audience)? Perhaps they do this in the Refection, and probably within the project reflections themselves. And we should address it during the oral defense.) you seem to be doing a nice job asking about this. but I like the way you phrased it here as to how did they address the challenges of ALL their learners..

Index.html is the title of the page for the home page.. others are ok like the site map why is it so far down on the home page like that you added in the tools that you used to create your project change of font for the reflection page - define AECT --nice link for the ADDIE and then link to the paper you have good reflections but you need to highlight that a bit more set off your ADDIE comments, Also maybe make the indicator in italics change of font within the artifacts pages limited number of artifacts: design, management,evaluation -- could at least one more for each a PART of one project. development of the Blackboard LMS - can't open that site maybe take a screenshot instead Copyright paper link does not work Menu bar moves on each page, footer is different sizes use of same alt text for your picture on each page? home has melanie walling.jpg skip navigation is a broken link on all pages. but put it above your name so that it isn't part of title Did use a template, if not then how do you maintain your structure and style? like that you included the date that you created the artifact maybe not need to have that disclaimer as it is your site. in the footer -- the very bottom line is not always in the grey and always in the footer link to wikispaces do not have the word home in the actual link make sure that you do not use spaces in files or folders on your web sites italicize the standard and then to make the reflection in plain text

Great job putting in alt text on all the images on the slider NICE home page-- could elaborate more with the purpose of the portfolio etc instead of just jumping into the goals home page-- the word Portfolio --- is hard to read in the cursive overall the header image is very large - so make it smaller in size and file size the text on the pages needs a bit more spacing

like your intro for the artifacts - but spell out what AECT stands for Like the way you described what was included in each artifact Red on red a bit hard to read for the menu bar, not enough contrast, for the list of artifacts but the yellow color change is very nice

The menu links on the side bar move slightly on some pages.

open in a new window--- change your links so that they don't open in a new window skip navigation?

you mention in artifact #2 design that the concept paper was for a course but what one? Maybe the title of the project would help clarify more Final multimedia project vs. instructional multimedia project if projects open in a new window also put that as part of the link and not just the title as some screenreaders won't read it. should there be a footer Did you use a template or create your own? why did you decide to put the css within the page making it absolute how did you address ADDIE in your reflection Cursive headers a bit hard to read Artifacts management - leave out the word home in the link

Artifacts - add a line between the artifacts and if the page is long could you add back to top Utilization - check the typo at the bottom at the last paragraph ALong

Like the overall format simple and clear, did you modify a template you jump into your goals instead of providing any introduction to the portfolio skip navigation link.. do you have an **index.html** page Vitae-- totally different format and the home button goes to a different page Your name and the word portfolio are linked or have an anchor but don't go anywhere reflection need a bit more spacing in between all the fonts are the same size so changing them possibly with color or size to discriminate artifacts page: there is no home link long pages need back to top utilization - spacing inconsistency copyright information moves and the navigation instruction moves- this because there is no "footer" can you get another template and copy the information for the footer to put that information into a footer so that it would be in the same place on each page so if you move the footer text into a footer div then it would help Also taking out the might help in spacing navigation statement might work best on the navigation page nice to separate out the standard from your reflection on that - possibly italicize the standard indicator and then include your statement in regular text utilization -- the word **Developement,** development: first artifact Instructional **Desing** and Link to Games & Simulations -- emphasize or the vitae
 * home page.** spacing.. maybe bullet instead. but also to add a little bit at the top with the purpose of the portfolio
 * reflection page -- spelling University of South Carolin**
